Sadly, this kind of invective is nothing new from a President who stokes racial hatred like it’s his favorite party game. It’s particularly easy in this case to see how the President’s uncharitable attitudes translate into policy decisions that hurt people that don’t fit his definition of what makes America great. It was only a few days ago that the Trump Administration decided to end TPS for people from El Salvador, thereby putting thousands of lives at risk and ignoring Salvadorans’ many contributions to our nation and our economy.
